I hear OtterBox cases offer pretty good protection. Does this case have a 'hard' screen protector or is it just a film screen protector?

No, it does not have a screen protector. I use vitreo screen protector. Not cheap, but absolutely the BEST!

I would buy the otterbox defender series case I bought the other one and it doesn't come with a cover I hope that helps.

No this don't come with the screen protector you have to get the Defender Outterbox Series for the screen protector

Just a film screen protector. Remember screen protectors are for cutting down on scratches on the screen not preventing shattered or broken screens. I have been using film screen protectors on all my PDAs and Smart Phone dating back to my original Palm Pilot. They work great for keeping the screen from scratches.

no screen protector, but as someone who has had the defender series on multiple phones, I can tell you that the screen protector kills the resolution. your better off getting this case and getting either a temered glass protector or one of the many HD "military grade" protectors. one of the best parts of this phone is the incredible display. why lose a portion of that for a very subpar protector (dirt and debris frequently gets underneath the defender built in protector, and these things aren't fun to have to take apart in order to cleans the inside of the protector lol)

It has a film screen protector. I don't use it because the screen is made of Gorilla Glass, so it doesn't scratch anyways. I believe the Defender series has a hard screen that is integrated into the case.The Commuter series of cases is fine for normal use. I wish Otterbox made a water proof case for the Note 3. It would be great for those times like when I go hiking and I need the extra protection.

This case does not come or include a screen protector. It is only the case itself which includes a soft rubber case that adapts to the phone and a hard rubber case which is installed on top of the soft rubber for protection. You can order separate screen protectors of various brands that can be installed with this case, I use skimoni and invisible shield.

Yes it comes with a hard plastic screen protector but it moves around alot when you snap on the case on so I never used it. It was more of a bother than a protector

Mine came with a pack of 3 screen protectors. Spigen.com also has a few other glass protectors that has even better protection than the defender series. I like spigen cases because they offer great protection and look stylish. Otterbox is very bulky

Yes it does, and it's replaceable giving it an advantage over the Otterbox for me. I work construction and got a deep scratch in the hard screen protector of my Otterbox. Looking at having to buy another Otterbox, I decided to look for a case protective enough for construction work with a replaceable hard screen protector, and the Ballistic cases are the only ones I found that met those two criteria.

Not a hard case type that I have found but the universal static film type is easily applied. It does come with a film type protector already on it. I use mine constantly & still can't tell the protector is there. I only know it is because I stuck something under a corner to make sure, lol. It is still very clear.

No this did not come with the screen protection. Its not too hard to remove it from the case but its not SUPER easy either. But the job it has done of protecting my phone has been pretty good. I like the fact that its NOT bulky

no screen protection, but it is a tough, good case, have dropped it a few times without issue.

This does not have a screen protector, it is just a shell around the phone. I ended up getting an otter box shortly after purchasing this.

No this case does not have a built in screen protector and haven't seen any product with one?This is a solid case but does add some bulk to your phone when fitting in pockets fyi.

The Defender case has a built in screen protector. Here's a link with more detailed info... http://blog.ohcases.com/2011/01/26/whats-the-difference-between-otterbox-defender-and-commuter-series/

You'll need to buy a screen protector, the PowerCase doesn't have one built in like the Otterbox Defender and others. I actually prefer the separate screen protector as my experience with the Defender is it scratches easily and looks terrible in a very short time.

I have the iPhone 4s and bought an actual otterbox. Like the case very much, but I absolutely have air bubbles under the screen protector. To Ryan: The otterbox hard case (inside the silicone) has a built in screen protector.

It comes with a film you can put on it. I did not use that. I have dropped my phone numerous times(accident) on the concrete and tile and just took the cover off and my phone is still like new immaculate. I give this case a 5***** to the otter box.

It comes with a screen protector that sticks on - doesn't have one like the otterbox comes with. Hope this helps

The screen protector seems to be built in, like most Otterbox-type cases, but you could probably remove it by tearing it out if you wanted to just permanently not have a plastic film in the case. From my experience, though, the screen guard isn't super easy to scratch and it's comforting to be able to keep finger oil, food, drink, moisture, and scratches off of the screen itself.

I would get to otter box defender series case with a built in screen. I originally bought the one you're contemplating on buying I never dropped my phone with it on so it may be ok but it doesn't look as durable or protective as the otterbox is but the otterbox cost way too much compared to this one. I'll just say you get what you pay for.
